Premier League CEO, Richard Masters, has issued an extremely rare statement on Man City's ongoing legal battle with the Premier League over their 115 charges.
The Premier League are yet to reach a verdict on Man City, who were charged with breaching 115 of the division's financial rules back in February 2023.
The ongoing case is based over a nine-year period, with the first alleged breach in 2009 and last during 2018. Man City have denied all wrongdoing.
Last year, a private hearing was held but there have been very few updates released in the months since.

The true details of the case have been kept secret, with only those directly involved knowing the full extent of the matter due to the magnitude of the investigation.
However, for the first time since the spring official communication from the Premier League has arrived on the matter, with Masters addressing the situation on Thursday.

"You can ask but unfortunately our rules are very clear; it's a confidential process," Masters said during the Premier League summer series.

"So I really can't give any information out on timing or anything like that, there's nothing more I can add. Sorry about that..."
This comes after the Independent claimed the case could still go until at least October, which would be a nightmare scenario for the Premier League.
This would mean yet another season of uncertainty surrounding potential punishments and how this would impact all clubs across the league, especially if Pep Guardiola's side are hit with a points deduction.
According to the report, some club leaders have hinted that the official outcome might arrive during the second international break of the season which is set from October 4th to 18th.
